Bob Stoops names former Kentucky coach Hal Mumme XFL Dallas offensive coordinator
Bob Stoops is going back to the Air Raid.
It’s somewhat ironic that the former Oklahoma coach began his head coaching career with the Sooners utilizing the offense in Norman with Mike Leach as his offensive coordinator and now with Stoops returning to coaching in the XFL, he’s turning to the coach that taught Leach the system.
On Thursday, the XFL announced Hal Mumme would be Stoops’ offensive coordinator when the inaugural XFL season begins in 2020.
Mumme previously served as OC at Jackson State last season. During the 1997-2000 seasons, Mumme was Kentucky’s head coach.

I thought for sure he would have come after little brother’s OC, the fantastic Eddie Gran.
Didn’t Mumme have something to do with developing Tim Couch?
I think he was a first 4ound draft choice as a QB in the NFL.
Maybe Mumme doesn’t want to return to college ball and we certainly wouldn’t want him at UK in the OC position anyway.
Too much excitement is bad for drawing fans.
Mumme was a joke who ran a gimmick offense and Kentucky fired him for cheating. Mumme won a few games with Bill Curry’s recruits. KY was on probation for years because of this loser.
Consider this is the most important story in Kentucky football for the past three days.
Let’s talk about our baseball team.
New stadium, losing season over all, and no SEC tournament.
Yea, we had all those players going to the pros last year, and certainly no other school in the SEC lost any so that’s why we finished tied to for last.
Maybe this year some of the other schools will lose some players to the professional league and we won’t and then we can get to the SEC tournament.
Know how many times we’ve been to the CWS?
Yea, that many.
But our new stadium, smaller than 2/3s in the league when completed, has done the trick. Or maybe another raise for the coach.
Thanks Mitch!
